To Kill A Mockingbird Dialectical Journal

20. The new treasures the children found in the knot-hole was a ball of gray twine, dolls made out of soap, a pack of new chewing gum, a tarnished medal, and a pocket watch on a chain with an aluminum knife. Scout thinks it’s Miss Maudie leaving the treasures.

When reading To Kill To A Mockingbird many charterers walked in someone else's shoes which is a big theme of the book. Scout was one of these charters she walked in Boo Radley’s shoes. At the end of the book, she walked Arthur home and she sees the whole book from his perspective. She sees two children running down the sidewalk and in the winter two kids shivering in the cold. In the book, Scout also walked in Walter Jr.’s shoes. Calpurnia talked to Scout after Walter was eating a different way than they do and Scout pointed that out and embarrassed Walter. She started to see through his perceptive. She realized that they eat that way because they were raised like that and that it is not his fault. Atticus was another charter that had

This was it, a week before halloween, and I’m going to a haunted house with my friends.

1. Truth: “As Mr. Radley passed by, Boo drove the scissors into his parent’s leg, pulled them out, wiped them on his pants, and resumed his activities.” (Ch.1 p.13)

Jem and Scout do think differently in this section. You see the different thinking from the way each of the kids handling the outcome of the trial. When each of them share their opinion on what kind of folks there are it reveals the divide. The divide we see in the chapter is that Jem is understanding about how things work in the town that Scout can not yet comprehend. For example Jem is able to understand that segregation played a huge role in the outcome of the trial as Scout see's it as just a lost case. You can tell because Jem will not stop thinking about it, and he continues to ask Atticus questions ,realizing there is more than just "folks" and there are good people and bad people living in this world. Jem becomes aware of the fact that

In this passage of the book, Holden is thinking scientifically. This supports the fact that he is smart after all, even though he his failing most of his classes. Often times, a teenager wants something so bad, they come up with crazy and somewhat stupid ideas and plans to help them obtain that something. Maybe this is because he does not want to try or maybe he wants to fit in with others who would not accept him if he was smart. In this metaphor, he is comparing himself the ducks in Central Park when the lagoon freezes over. What Holden is really saying is the fact that he would not know where to go if he stays living in a place full of phonies and rude people. The ducks cannot swim in ice and he will not stay in a school full of fakes.

“Subject is driving on Benview Avenue. He's at the light in front of Wal-Mart right now. Looks like he's heading toward I-154. He should be making a left on it and heading north.”

A bunch of characters in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird affect other characters. Each character is affected differently. Scout affects a bunch of characters. On page 46, Scout brings out the good in Dill. What I mean by this is that Scout and Dill are really close friends and Dill says he is going to marry Scout. This also affects Scout. Dill says he is going to marry Scout makes her feels joyful. On that page it says “He had asked me earlier in the summer to marry him, then he promptly forgot about it. He staked me out, marked as his property, said I was the only girl he would ever love,then he neglected me.” Dill started to neglect Scout by hanging out with Jem more yes that upset

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I am on page 254. This book is about the Finch family which consist of Scout, her older brother, and their father. Calpurnia is the family cook, and she also helps take care of the children. Aunt Alexandra comes and stays with the finch’s. The story takes place during the Great Depression in a small town called Maycomb, Alabama. In this journal I will be explaining the theme and evaluating.

I am reading the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. In chapters 1-3, a girl nicknamed Scout introduces her home of Maycomb County, Alabama in which she has scary neighbors and a new friend that comes there. She goes to her first day of school and gets in trouble for an unknown reason to her. Then, the rude Ewell family is introduced and described, and Scout talks to her father about not going to school. In this journal, I will be predicting the kids will not meet Boo because he is locked up and they are scared of him.

When adolescents like Holden cannot find an “adolescence zone” in the real world, they would conjure one in imagination. A pivotal moment of the novel is in the midsection, which resonates with the meaning of the novels title. When his sister Phoebe asks what would make him happy, Holden describes to her an imagined picture, which is worth quoting at length:

Within the texts racism is highlighted by the major characters, by impacting the spirit of the communities and exploring injustice.

* Scout’s moral development throughout To Kill a Mockingbird has to do with how she is taught to see “the other”, her exposure to racism and injustice, and that she had Atticus as a parent to guide her through her childhood. These factors together create a stable learning environment for Scout to grow and develop in.

“It takes a village to raise a child”, is an African Proverb. In other words, it can take more than just a child’s nuclear family to make her grow into who she will be as an adult. This lens is true because even though parents and siblings have a major effect on a child, and how they turn out later on in life, society and a child’s surrounding are what really shapes, and makes them who they are. What a child sees when he or she is new to the world, and doesn’t know everything, effects their behavior, and outlook on their life ahead. This lens is illustrated in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by

As I woke up on the cold concrete floor of my cell, I could feel my eyes still heavy after what felt like 15 hours of sleep. The needle dripping with the last few drops of heroine had rolled under my bed. My bunkmate was nowhere in sight. “Seventeen. Eighteen. Nineteen.”, I heard faintly from outside my cell. “Twenty-one.” It took me about five more minutes of laying there until a realized what was going on. I hurried outside to join the others, while still trying to be discreet. “Well look who decided to join us. Where were you Anderson, knitting us all sweaters? Or baking cookies in your mansion’s glorious kitchen?” “No, C.O. Wright”, I said. “I overslept and lost track of t…” I couldn’t finish my sentence before feeling the hard blow of his boot hitting my
